After going to Grandma's memorial service, it hits me how much it sucks that Grandma died. In a sense, I feel like I can't really say enough about her. But Bridget wrote a great bit about her here. It sums up a lot of things quite well. Also, Rachael gave a great speech(?) at the service which was very nice and touching.
Fearing slight re-iteration, it is slightly comforting that she's not in pain anymore. It's nice to remember her as the feisty, independent woman that she was.
All in all, I'm glad that I got to see all of the family, if only for a short while. I have such a great family, and it's too bad that we don't get to meet more often. Hopefully once I get out of college, I can take a month or so to just travel around and see everyone. Don't hold your breath on that whole getting out of college thing. Finals were brutal this semester: They were really hard classes, and I couldn't focus with Grandma dieing three hours before my first final. Ah well.

I agree, we do have a great family. I know what you mean about Grandma - it's too hard to sum up what a wonderful lady she was. Don't worry about the finals - it's completely understandable and it's just a semester - you've got plenty more to prove what a smarty-pants you are! :) Love you cuz.
